Hello to everyone

I have not posted in a wile but I am having a problem so I thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone can help. When I exercise or do anything physical I get terrible muscle pains for days. Only on the right side of my body. Right calf,shin,gluit,shoulder and down through my fore arm. I have had my blood work checked by my surgeon and pcp both were fine. I have seen a chiropractor regularly. Yes I am pushing 40 and the pcp tells me it is arthritus. Why only on the right side? This is just really starting to get to me because every time I start to exercise I get to hurting so bad it forces me to stop. Well there it is any input would be great.

Thanks,
Derrick

Hey Derrick,

I would head right to a sports medicine doc and have it checked out asap. Up in Oregon, sports medicine is big time so you are in the center of expertise for this type of problem. Sports medicine docs see all kinds of sports related injuries, aches, pains and the like so they should be able to diagnose your problem.

I agree with everyone else.  See a "sports medicine" doc (an MD, NOT a chiropractor).  Usually, that would be a specialist known as an orthopedist.

It's a little strange that your symptoms aren't limited to a single joint, but at the same time aren't symmetric on both sides of your body, but that shouldn't phaze a good orthopedist.  Hope that gets you closer to an answer.

I know what a drag something like this can be after making such progress everywhere else.  After limping around for the past 10 months with terrible hip pain (and no NSAIDs to help me), I finally had a hip replacement a month ago, and I feel great.  I'm not suggesting that's what you have (it sure doesn't sound like it), but I only got this identified and fixed by visiting such a specialist, and I'm grateful that I did!
